"It’s a very useful tool for making sure you don’t come up in their search list and they don’t come up in yours. Narrows the list. Have an extensive block list, consisting of people that have approached despite clearly having/doing things on my no list, pushy guys, rude people, and unsolicited friend requests from randoms. I was thinking more the same for search reasons only yes I’ve not had any rude or repetitive reasons to block That said, I usually just respond with a polite no thanks first." | |||

"Thanks for replies guys!! I’ve just been on a mini blocking spree and feel so much better!! My searches may be smaller or different now but happy I won’t be seeing the same incompatible accounts as before, and of course hiding my incompatible account from them too Good start to a new year!" No problem and actually an interesting thread. Insight into why people block others is always useful. Oh and by the way.....your blocked!!  | |||

"Usually for repetitive and abusive status updates. Sometimes for their abusive or relentlessly argumentative forum posts. Sometimes because they say one thing in a forum post but the complete opposite in private messages. Sometimes because we have nothing in common and I just don't want to see them in future updates.

"People think they're so great when they block you "I really do hate to agree Richard but the glee of some who rush to the forum to say that they blocked someone is palpable. People should keep their posts and read them some time in the not too distant future. They are too funny. | |||

"Much of the ‘block’ trigger finger mentality on here seems very 1:1 focussed, which is maybe inevitable if folks are seeing fab as a unique means of meeting. Coming from a swinging community approach (eg at Cap dAgde) where you can be in a room/bar/club with say 30 people. You may only consider getting personal with 5 of them. Blockers would have the other 25 blocked, not realising they are often the ones who can introduce you to other wonderful folks, parties, events etc. On this profile, some have blocked not even waiting to find out if I have eg a hot regular buddy, a group of party friends I can intro them to etc. On the whole I try not to take exception to anyone, nor be impatient with them. They have to try very hard, be over persistent or abusive before I’d reach for the block button" Some good points in there. I think the internet in general and by extension Fab can be a little 2 dimensional in this sense. We can get an idea of people, in various ways, but it's not the complete picture - blocking can therefore be counterintuitive - not always, but sometimes. Although, we'll never know! | |||

"Only ever blocked a few people. Few lads for just asking for sex constantly... They didn't even offer to buy me s drink first. What kinda lad they take me for. And one lass that said I was a fat ugly ginger cunt... I was so hurt... I'm not fucking ginger lol " | |||
"Just wondering other people’s actions regarding Blocking accounts.. Do you only block accounts who have messaged you and are either not your type, abusive, or repetitive Or Do you block accounts on searches that just don’t interest you in order to make future searches more personal to what you’re after? " Neither. Can't see the point in blocking. People can just make new profiles. | |||

"We block abusive and rude people, sometimes we block people because of the way they behave in the forums or people who we are not interested in or because of repetitive annoying status up dates/messages or because we know them in real life. Fab, like any large group of people, has people you do not want to interact with for whatever reason. The block is there to make Fab a more enjoyable place for you. We also use message/age filters because that is what works for us. It sounds a bit harsh but it is an easy way for us to control who sees our profile and who can contact us. " I get that kind of, but I’ve never interacted with said blockers and not been on here long enough to annoy anyone haha, weird but meh, life goes on :’) | |||
"rude and abusive every time" I’m not either of those personally, and couldn’t have been because I was blocked haha x | |||

"That makes sense thank you, however I only really discovered the forums, which are ace, yesterday and not been a fabber for long so puzzled how I could have annoyed anyone or popped up on their radar haha x | |||

"We block hardly anyone, only ever those who become an actual nuisance despite being told multiple times we're not interested, it seems they come off the block list after a while anyway though, at first I thought it was new accounts but it doesn't seem to be. I've come across people we've never interacted with who have blocked us too, I always assume it must be a glitch but from this thread it seems some people just use it as a filter which I'd never considered, others have blocked us before after exchnging face pics instead of a "sorry not our type" message, I can understand this as it's an awkward one to send. " Awwww that’s a bit shit too, but I just wanted some opinions and I’m still happy and here, failing being blocked I have spoken to some lovely people so kinda outweighs the chaff x | |||
"I think everyone in the thread should block me just for their own safety "OK. | |||
"My blocklist is humongous. I block for so many different reasons, I Just use it as another filter but I know some people consider it a last resort. If somebody is on my block list it doesn't mean that there is a problem, Sometimes I block people just because I feel they are to local or I know that I just don't really want to have any interaction with them." Another very valid reason thank you, I just didn’t quite understand initially but now things are becoming more apparent | |||

But I get these points and happy with the reasons now | |||
"Iv been blocked by people iv never even spoken to "lol so have I mate ..nothing stranger than some folk | |||
| |||
"Iv been blocked by people iv never even spoken to lol so have I mate ..nothing stranger than some folk"There could be so many reasons for that. Could be that you live very local to the person, theyy recognise you its almost certainly not personal. | |||

"I don't have a block list I have a good memory for mood hoovers, glory hunters and pests" Good to see you back on the forums by the way. | |||

"My block list is pretty small. Last person I blocked was a local guy who kept on looking at my profile... which is fine in itself but his profile pic is a close up of his droopy cock and I got really sick of seeing it when I checked my "Looked @ me" list. Honestly, cock profile pics. What's that all about "Haha understood | |||
| |||
"There’s no one on y blocklist but I’m on lots. Some I have net spoken to, others because they saw my face, a few locals and then quite a few who either don’t like me or don’t want me looking at their profile. I get virtually no abuse but have had the odd one liner thrown at me. I usually reply with a witty retort that keeps them off my back or they block me. Once or twice I have had to bock but they disappear eventually "It’s definitely a button I have used, twice, but feel it may become more useful over time however I don’t feel the need to so far | |||
"I'm starting to block people more now, but I still feel mean for doing it! Always the rude ones, though I'm finding much less of that recently. I've started to block guys who send me the same message, every few weeks. " me me me | |||
| |||
| |||
"I never used to block but I now do - when I feel we have nothing in common and the person keeps writing to me, does not take no for an answer. " The majority of reasons so far are absolutely understandable but I was just curious as to why I’m blocked by someone I’ve never interacted with in any manor, but now I know and all is well | |||
| |||

If I ever block someone, it's because I absolutely zero interest in ever getting to know them (based on something rude/illegal or disrespectful they've said or done).
Some people get proper stroppy over it. Someone actually confronted me in a club, "You've blocked me on Fab!". I politely agreed "Yes I have". She stropped off. Not sure what sort or response she was expecting really
Someone's got to be a bad knob head for me to block them | |||
"I don't have a block list I have a good memory for mood hoovers, glory hunters and pests Good to see you back on the forums by the way. "Thank You It's actually nice to be back Despite what some feel, I find they are a cathartic place to hang out in these unusual times | |||

"Just been blocked but he gave a clue as to why as his message before he blocked me told me to look up the definition of friends and social skills so I take it he blocked me because I didn’t reply to his message last night even though previously it’s taken him a week to reply to mine.

"Abusive/ repetitive or if we’ve figured out it’s a fake “couples” account, If they’re not our type we will usually just let them know and a lot of the time just get a reply like “no worries” etc and that’s it to block em seems a bit excessive but we get why people would block somebody not they’re type for sure! " Mostly this. To our surprise been blocked early into our journey as we were probably considered fakes due to being nervous. Be interested to see others reasons. | |||
